E-mail gone from outlook express

[greg]

I just lost 2,000 emails from my outlook express inbox.
This inbox was under local folders. I now see one e-mail
in there.

Note that I recently updated Windows XP. Just before my
e-mail disappeared, I couldn't open it and I got an
error message saying something like, "I might not have
enough memory or disk space to view that item."

Thanks for reading this. I hope someone finds this
challenge interesting and responds.

I will be grateful. I am not a programmer and I'm new to
online communities.

Hi - I think there's something at Tomsterdam on 'lost data', but you'll have
to look. URL is listed below..

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
